Annual Little Falls Arts and Crafts Fair Book Signing
at Bookin' It with Candace Simar
"Endlessly fascinating...The ultimate 'I was there'
book. I have read many books about Scandinavians coming
to America in the turbulent 1860s, but thanks to author
Candace Simar, this is the first time I was ever transported
from my easy chair right into the book to experience
it with them. The images of courage, cruelty, intolerance,
discovery, and simple pleasures have stayed with me.
This is one book I won't forget." - Jack Koblas
author of the Let Them Eat Grass Trilogy and numerous
books on the Northfield Bank Raid and the James Younger
Gang
I
read Pomme De Terre with the greatest interest and enjoyment.
Its a very vivid telling of this tragic American
story. Ive long been wanting something in fiction
about the Great Sioux Uprising, and this book is the
best Ive seen. - Larry McMurtry,
Pulitzer Prize winning author of Lonesome Dove
Possible
Book Signing with William Kent Krueger
His newest book, Vermillion Drift, comes out in September
and we are working on scheduling him to sign books for
our Annual Holiday Open House and Anniversary Celebration.

Possible
Book Signing with Author/Illustrator Greg Budig
check back for date in November or December
 
Greg Budig does for Winter what he did for Fall in
I Hear the Wind. In his words and illustrations, he
leads the reader through woods, fields and snow-covered
streets to the tempo of a world made white. While written
for children, this winter walk will captivate people
of all ages.

News lists Maltman as the Best First Time Novelist of
2007.
Maltman weaves this gripping story around real

A remarkably poignant narrative in time, an elegant
portrayal of a period little known in American history.Rocky
